EAST INDIAN MYTHS.
Where HerodOtus and Other Ancient
 Writers Found Their Fables.

Where HerodOtus and Other Ancient
 Writers Found Their Fables.
 The Greeks accepted, without hesi- tation, the tales that were told of men without noses, and with two orifices above the mouth, for the purpose of breathing, which, it has been suggest ed, may have been an unconscious caricature of the Mongols, says a writer referring to the fables of the old Greek historians. The pigmies, only three spans in height, who were warred upon be cranes and by part ridges as large as geese, may have been dwarfish race, dwelling in woods and at the foot of mountains, who earned precarious livelihood as bowmen and trappers.
 Bhotan people, whose ears are enormously elongated by artificial means. may have been represented as a tribe whose ears reached to the ground, and which were otherwise so hung that their owners would coil themselves up and go to sleep in them. The swift runners who could run down a horse might have found their ana logues within quite a recent period and may perhaps still find them in some of the native states. The fable of the gold-digging ant, as large as wild foxes, has been long since ex- plained as referring to Thibetan min CTS, men of low stature, who inhabit the mountainous country to the north of Kashmir.
 The animals mistaken for ants may very well have been marmots, which are said to be plentiful in those parts. As for the monstrous shapes which no traveller pretends to have seen with his own eyes, they existed, no doubt, in bright colors on the inner walls of pagOdas, and were intended to depict the Rakshasas of demons, odious alike to men and gods. Such was the proba- ble origin of the beings who were born without mouths and lived on the aroma of fruits and flowers; of those whose feet were burned the wrong way, the heels being in front, while the instep and toes were behind; of those who bore the head of a dog and were furnished with claws, who lived by hunting and fowling, and who clothed themselves with the skins of wild beasts; of those who had the ear of a dog, erect hair and shaggy breasts and with one eye in the center of the fore head; finally of those without nostrils, who devoured raw meat and all man. ner of abomination and died in their youth, ungainly creatures with the upper lip hanging over the lower. Of no greater importance are the marvel Ous animals enormously delineated rather than invented. such as serpents with membranous wings. that flew by night; horses with deers' heads surmounted by a black horn, with legs without joint, and with the tail of a pig; tigers twice the size Of a lion; the phenix, sprung from the suns rays, that lived its life of five thousand years in India, and, singing its own dirge, died in its own nest of aromatic herbs hard by the fountains of the Nile. It would be sheer waste of time to bestow further thought upon the childish inventions fathered by Philostratus upon Appollonius of Ty- ana, oi rather upon the journal of his fellow-traveler. Damis.

HOME, SWEET HOME.
A Beautiful Prose Poem by Rev. Jame
 Freeman Clarke,

A Beautiful Prose Poem by Rev. James
 Freeman Clarke.
 True society begins in the home. When two young people love each other marry, they restore the picture of the apostolic church. They are of one heart and one soul. Neither do they say that any thing they possess is their own, but they have all things in common. Their mutual trust in each other, their entire confidence in each other, draws out all that is best in both. Love is the angel who rolls away the stone from the grave in which we bury our better nature, and it comes forth. Love makes all things new; makes new heaven and new earth; makes all cares light, all pain easy. It is the one enchantment of human life which realizes Fortunio's purse and Aladdin's palace and turns the Arabian Nights into mere prose in comparison. Think how this old story of love is repeated forever in all the novels and romances and poems, and how we never tire of reading about it; and how if there is to be wedding in a church all mankind go, just to have one look at two persons who are sup posed, at least, to be in love, and so supremely happy. But this, also, is not perfect society. It is too narrow, too exclusive. It shows the power of devo- tion, trust, self-surrender, that there is in the human heart; and it is also prophecy of something larger that is to come. But it is at least home, and before real society can come, true homes must come. As in sheltered nook in the midst of the great sea of ice which rolls down from the summit of Mont Blanc is found a little green spot full of tender flowers, so, in the shelter of home, in the warm atmos- phere of household love, spring up the pure affections of parent and child; father, mother, son, daughter; of brothers and sisters. Whatever makes this insecure, and divorce frequent, makes of marriage not union for life, but an experiment which may be tried as often as we choose, and abandoned when we like. And this cuts up by the roots all the dear affections of home; leaves children orphaned, destroys fatherly and motherly love, and is a virtual dissolu- ton of society. I know the great difficulties of the question, and how much wisdom is required to solve them. But whatever weakens the permanence of marriage tends to dis solve society; for permanent homes are to the social state what the little cells are to the body. They are the commencement of organic life, the centers from which all organization proceeds. - ReU. JGnpes Freeman

TRICKERY IN SOAPS.
The Amount of Water Which a Good
 Toilet Article Should Contain.

The Amount of Water Which a Good
 Toilet Article Should Contain.
 Experience is necessary in the pur- chase of fancy soaps" remarked a dealer the other day. You are not always sure that you are getting the worth of your money. A good toilet article should not contain more than from nine to eighteen per cent. of wa ter. The interruptions manufacturer increases the amount of water in vari- ous ways. In some instances he forces water into the soap as it hardens after the boiling it undergoes; in other cases he mixes the water by mechanical means into the soap; in a third and equally large class of cases he intro duces some powerful chemical, such as Gl auber's salts, which enables him to introduce as much as seventy per cent. of water. It is obvious, there fore, that ten pounds of honest toilet soap would contain nine pounds if thoroughly dried, and that ten pounds treated chemically would con- tain less than three pounds. Nor is the wrong confined to selling three pounds for nine to the innocent pur- chaser. The spurious soap is affected by water five times as much as the genuine. In the wash bowl or bath tub it dissolves visibly before the eye. Where its honestly made rival can be used fifty times, it only lasts ten. If left by accident in the water it dis solves until the surrounding liquid IS thick suds. There are soaps of this sort in the market which are adver- tised as first-class and sold at high prices. Have an eye on the man who calls on you and pretends to give you bargains by letting on that It is the last of the lot, and tempts you with a quick falling scale of prices. The perfume is there and the showy wrap per, but it is sixty per cent. water in- stead of honest soap."-PhiEadeLphiG Call.

 -Eighty-two thousand Germans live in France at the present time, not withstanding the steady prejudice against their nationality. Since the great war of 1870 they have gradually crept back into the country, while, though bursts of anti-Teutonic feeling may occur in the press, and even be practically shown by the French peo- pie themselves, as on several recent occasions, in the main the German residents get on very comfortably with their ex-euemies. and find the enmity more theoretical than practical.

TANNING IN JAPAN.
The Wonderful Progress Made By thu Japs in the Manufacture of Leather.

The Wonderful Progress Made By the
 Japs in the Manufacture of Leather.
 Japan makes great progress in tanning, as also in the other branches of industry. In fact the Japanese are very accessible to European civiliza- tion, and have an intelligence more developed than any European nation. Like all Asiatic peoples, they have a surprising faculty for mastering Vest ern inventions, and improving on them for their own use. The Japanese have shown themselves equally expert in adopting tanning ideas, and have sent competent tanners to Europe to study our methods. Aided by the capital condition of their raw hides, it will be easy for them to enter into competi- tion with ourselves and our neighbors. We must not deceive ourselves. Every thing tends to equalize itself in this world, and nations which have been thought to head the list for certain articles, may think themselves happy if they are allowed to occupy middle place. Japanese leather has been sent to Europe. and having been seen by competent people, is highly spoken of both in a technical and commercial point of view. Its competition with European markets is only matter of time.
 Ispoke just now about deceiving our selves, and I must add that divers great countries, such, for example, as E h. gland, France and Germany, all fa- nous for their tanneries, entertain veritable illusions regarding the state of tanning in other lands, which they are accustomed to treat in a cavalier manner. Lately 1 had occasion to visit various Sicilian tan-yards. The process is here carried on according to ancient usage. Machinery has not spread its benefits. It is ignored, and no one seems to have an idea of she numerous machines which are in such constant use in the aforementioned countries. Every thing is done by hand. Most of the tanners would con- sider accounts of machinery and what it accomplishes as little less fabulous than Jules Verne's tales. But just look at their leather. it is perfection. Ex- quisite care in each manual operation has produced leather which may be placed by the side of the most admira- ble productions of countries which em- ploy machinery because of the dear I

In more than one of these romances allusion is made to the load stone islands in the Indian Ocean, which were believed to draw iron bolts out of ships at an incredible distance, and which have been thus explained by the fact that the seas in question were navigated by vessels the blanks of which were bound together by ropes and cord, without the use of nails and bolts.

 Bees are claimed as depredators by eating or carrying off the pulp of grapes. They have been known to destroy peaches also. The bees do not puncture fruit, but after the puncture is made they then begin work on the fruit The real enemy is the wasp, which cuts the fruit, being followed by the bees. - Troy Times.
 This is the way one good farmer got permanent supply of pure water: He laid about one thousand feet of tile for draining a wet piece of land on top of hill thirty or forty rods dis tant from the barn. The supply of water was so permanent that he set a cask to receive the water at the outlet of the tile, and with lead pipe con- nected it with his yard. .-1He Farmer and ManufactNrer.
 One of the most serviceable kind of wash-stand splashers, and also one of the cheapest, is made from yard of fancy mating bound with a wide braid or a piece of silk or merino matching the prevailing color in the room, and fastened up with four tacks, each tack covered with colored ribbon. Where the room is small. and there is no dressing-case, pockets of the mat ting may be fastened each side the splasher to hold the comb and brush. Indianapolis Journal.

WATER IN THE PASTURE.
A Question That Does Not Receive EnOugl
 Attention Among Farmers.

Question That Does Not Receive Enough
 Attention Among Farmers.
 There is nothing like having plenty of water right in the pasture. The truth of the matter is, that stock seldom get all the water they need un- less it is found in the pasture. We may fatter ourselves that we give the animals a good chance by taking them to water twice in twenty -four hours, (and but few water oftener than that) but in the dry, hot weather of midsum- mer, is not frequent enough. It is not good for animals to drink so much as will be needed to carry them through such long periods of time. Moderate, frequent drinking is as much the neces- sity to the well-bei2g of animals in hot weather as it is to men But both may be accustomed to long periods of abstinence, but manifestly to their disadvantage. With the milch COWS, plenty of water at frequent intervals, is an important necessity, ii we would keep up the flow of milk. The milch COW can mot do her best when she is obliged to go twelve long hours on a hot summer day without water.
 Natural running water is a very fine thing in the pasture. but as it is com paratively few that can have it, we need hardly take it into consideration. It would be good thing, though, for farmers to observe just how often ani- mals go to drink in dry, hot weather when they have access to such water, and then consider whether once in twelve hours is frequent enough for watering at such times, Seldom two hours elapse in hot, dry weather, with out the cattle coming down to the waters edge and drinking lightly.
 It may not always be practicable to have the well in the pasture. The pasture is not always permanent in- stitution, but is liable to rotation with the other fields of the farm. For this reason and others it may not always be advisable to have the well in the past ure.
 Upon most farms there is a drive way or lane leading back through the farm or along one side, from which the pasture usually opens. Too often the gates are shut and the animals con- fined to the pasture until such time in the day as it suits the attendants to let them up to the barn to drink. And it will be noted that the animals so con- fined sometimes stand about these gates lowing and looking up the way to the water supply, for hours at a time.
 Now this way should be open tc them at all hours. Keep supply of water always in the trough at all times, and let them come and drink when they please; and notice. too, how many times a day they will drink--more than twice, I will venture to say, ir in the coming of twenty-four hours.
 The windmill pump is a grand in- stitution on the farm. It usually in- sures a plentiful supply of water, when otherwise the poor animals would be stinted to save hard hand labor The question of water supply for the pasture, is one that does not receive sufficient attention among farmers, I think.

A MATHEMATICAL WASP.
How It Succeeded in Disposing of a Larg
 White-Bodied Spider.

How It Succeeded in Disposing of Q Large
 white-Bodied Spider. While sitting one summer day at the side of the house on a platform which served as plaza, but was roofed only by the branches of two large trees, something dropped upon my head and rolled into my lap, when saw a large white-bodied spi- der in the clutches of a small wasp, writes a correspondent of the 0tol. Hastily brushing these unceremonious visitors on to the floor, I watched to see if the wasp would succeed in flying away with his huge enemy.
 After struggle the spider lay quiet, and the wasp ran around seizing first one part, then another, but finally went away, as supposed, for help. In about quart CT of an hour he returned, still alone, and began trying again, as thought, to find some place by which he could seize the round body and carry it away. Again he departed without his spider.
 This time I watched him and saw him disappear at the edge of the lawn under a pear tree, and, following, found him, after some searching, diligently at work with another wasp enlarging a hole in the ground, having already thrown out quite a little mound of earth.
 Ireturned to the piazza, and soon, when the wasp came back, was convinced, by more careful watching, that he was meas- uring each part of the spiders body in- stead of trying to get hold of it. The an- tenne seemed to be the organs mostly em- ployed in this operation. When he went home again 1 was before him, and saw him meet his co-worker, put his head close to his, and evidently inform him that the doorway was not yet big enough, for they fell busily at work enlarging it.
 Then more measuring, more digging, until after three long hours he returned, this time with his friend, and they carried away their prey and bestowed it in their underground home.
